Key result
In a descriptive study of 28 women undergoing modified radical mastectomy, ultrasonography-guided pectoral nerve block resulted in a mean time to first analgesic demand of 12.2 hours and total opioid consumption of 165.7 mg.
Why the study?
Modified radical mastectomy surgery causes high morbidity and patient dissatisfaction due to incomplete postoperative pain relief.

Does ultrasonography-guided pectoral nerve block improve postoperative analgesia in adult females undergoing modified radical mastectomy?
Ultrasonography-guided pectoral nerve block provides effective postoperative analgesia and delays the need for first analgesic demand in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.
Nahar et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Breast cancer undergoing modified radical mastectomy (n=28). Ultrasonography-guided Pectoral nerve block was evaluated on Postoperative analgesia (VAS score, time to first analgesic demand, and total opioid consumption). In a descriptive study of 28 women undergoing modified radical mastectomy, ultrasonography-guided pectoral nerve block resulted in a mean time to first analgesic demand of 12.2 hours and total opioid consumption of 165.7 mg.
